[Dynagroove] Lets shake things up a bit (CADE RANTS)

[BadIYE at aol.com]

I second Mikey (and Cade's) defense of our beloved city.  We are  second 
bananas to Hip Hop/top 40 in the mainstream, but we're NO. 1 in that  special 
underground scene.
 
I also agree as a promoter on numerous things Cade said.  You can  almost 
guess which ones:  (a) quit telling me you're going to tear up the  floor...(b) 
hitting me up at 10:30PM, 1 hour after the party started, to tell me  " i'm 
coming over to your club, can you hook me up?" the balls, eh?   (c)  idiotic 
promoters.  
 
Let me tell you my story on not so bright promoters:   this promoter finds 
out about the Bungalow Club by attending a  Good Life party.   He wants to do 
his own party there.   doesn't call me to get inside info or coordination.  
Instead, he contacts  the manager (not the owner) and "brilliantly" agrees to put 
a deposit of  $800.00 for the bungalow club, which he supposedly would get 
back only  if the club bar upstairs makes $3,000.00 or more...needless to say, 
he's  getting no % of the bar.  For those who have been up at the second floor 
of  the Bungalow, it's a 100 capacity room, small bar.  In other  words, using 
any basic level of logic, IT'S A MATTER OF PURE PHYSICS,  MATH and ODDS, that 
you will VERY unlikely hit  that number,  FOOL.  He's thinking he's going to 
"pack it with people" but there is  a bar downstairs so if it's too busy 
upstairs people go downstairs, and that the  owner WON'T count the downstairs bar 
because (a) she has her own clientele there  and (b) the fool never negotiated 
it with her.  Of course, he packed  the place, but got $2,000.00 at the 
bar...(DUH!!!).  Thankfully, the  owner realizes that this guy is a complete clown, 
and not a savvy promoter  otherwise it would probably have effected me.
 
As far as not liking that monkey Cade, I've no idea where that comes from  
exactly.  From my personal experience, he's been nothing but cool with me,  
whether he's hosting a Free Thinking party, busting my balls for missing  
Dynagroove for the 17th time, or playing for me.  Sometimes he's been too  busy or 
stressed out to talk...so what?  i've been there too.  Others  may have different 
experiences, i guess, but no one can be everthing to  everyone.    
 
my long ass 2 cents.

Okay, so  here's I agree with the  most:

=====================================================

"STOP  TALKING SHIT ON LA!!! -  I am so tired of you snobs out there
talking  about the music in SF/NY/CHI.  Have you been to these cities much?
yes  there are cool events there and some great talent.  But guess  what?
They are clubs and they are restricted as clubs must be.  LA  goes strong
we still do undergrounds/warehouses/soundstages.  No other  cities in north
america does these like we do.  We have a wide  assortment of talent.  If
you like deep house we have it, if you like  chicago house we have it, if
you like tech house we have it, and if you  like cheesey progressive house
we gots plenty of that too!  LA is a  strong city so stop telling me how
great SF is.  SF does not have the  underground like we  do."

======================================================

Seriously  people.

And I would even take it a step further and BRAG about The City  of Angels
and what we have to all of our friends in other states and even  countries!
Maybe then they'll become aware, and MAYBE THEN we'll start  hearing tracks
that give LA props, and no more odes to Chitown and NYC, to  which I'm
getting quite sick of. Nothing against them of course, but you  know what I
mean.....

Los Angeles, muthafuggas!!!!

Oh ya, and  who in their right mind could POSSIBLY be asking why DIZ comes
out here so  much????? HELLO????? The man is straight magical and radiates
with funk.  Bring him out even MORE!!!!

Can't wait for this  summer!!!!!
